Commuting sucks, commuting to reserve is a whole different level of suck.
This month, I'm long call at a legacy (12 hour call out). My commute is such, that I cant guarantee I can be in position from home in 12 hours. So I sit in the crash pad. I just finished a two day trip, already assigned a nasty three day tomorrow, that pretty much insures I won't get home on my last day. So I'll get home around 10:30, on my one day off. I'll have to leave the house at 03:00 on my next reserve day to get back to base. So I'll basically have just over 24 hours at home in 10 days.
I want to move to base, but after two weeks here looking at houses, and checking out various areas around my new base, the rest of my family decided that don't want here to be "home".
